There is no diminution in the crowds
that visit Snowflake Park to witness the
ball games. Yesterdays attendance was
little smaller, if any, than that of the open
ing day, including several hundred ladies,
and the close and brilliant game they
witnessed well repaid them for attending.
Borchers occupied the box for the Green
hood & Morans, and pitched an excellent
game until the extra inning which was
needed TO decide the contest, but in that
there were four singles raped out by the
Atlas. new man appeared in the ranks

Mullee pitched better than he had been
doing lately, only one hit being made by
the opposing nine after the fourth inning.
remarkable feature of the game, credit
able to pitchers and felders, was the in
ability of any of the batsmen to achieve
even a two-base hit. Few errors were
made, and they were not remarkably
costly. Meagher found the same trouble
caused by the sun in the left field
that Lovett complained of. During the
game there was some brilliant playing
done, and toward the close the spectators
became greatly excited. The Atlas made
runs in the second, ninth and tenth in
nings, and the G. & M s in the fourth and
seventh.
The Atlas were first at the bat Caveny
made clean hit to center field and on a
bad throw of Borchers TO first he ran to
third. Powers also made drive to center

was dropped.
The Atlas did not make any runs from
the first until the ninth inning, and theil
friends began to feel much worried. The
ninth opened with Mullee's getting his base
on balls and stealing second, following il
up by stealing third. Mclaughlin expired
at the initial. Newbert hit little one to
the pitcher, who hesitated second and
then threw TO first, the ball arriving Just

equally well to right field, and there was
more applause Powers sent the ball to

so much cheering just then. With two
